All images are available for sale and are classified as Fine Art Archival Pigment prints.

We take pride in providing the highest quality prints hand printed by Marni Grossman.

Archival Pigment Prints

Pigment prints are at the highest level, simply prints made from a high quality digital file by applying very fine droplets of ink ( pigment ) onto paper.

We use pigment based inks for all of our fine art printing because of their improved longevity and larger range of colors.

In this case the pigment will not be broken apart by absorption and then intertwined into fibers, fading or shifting colors.

This is ideal for the longevity needed in image archiving.

Paper Selections

We use a selected range of papers listed below. Marni makes the paper choice that best enhances the image she is printing. We are extremely conscious of the environment and use eco friendly papers where ever possible. On occasion we will take liberties to print on other choices not listed.

Hahnemuhle Bamboo Fine Art is an eco friendly paper that is a natural white smooth quality with subtle warm tones. It has a matte finish and uses 10% cotton fibres and 90% bamboo fibres in its production.

Hahnemuhle Sugar Cane Fine Art is an eco friendly paper that is textured and has a luxurious feel. It has a whiter tones than the Bamboo, which allows for the colors to be more vivid without them looking artificial. It has a matte finish and uses 25% cotton fibres and 75% sugar cane fibres in its production.

Ilford Gallery Smooth Gloss is my choice for printing where I need to sandwich the print between Plexy glass and Dibond for a contemporary clean look to be achieved. The paper has a smooth finish with a wider color gamut ( range ) and a promise to deliver a true look of old school prints.

All framing is done by the professional team at FrameMakers International. They use museum standard conservation framing techniques.
Matting and mounting processes both lend themselves firstly to protecting the photograph and secondly to enhancing the aesthetic qualities. They use only acid free mat with the basic window design. Mat cutting is fully computerized and customized for each photograph. (see diagram)

To ensure fine art quality, the artwork should never be adhered directly to the backboard nor should it be permanently mounted flat to the board. The photograph needs to float freely. (see diagram) note* exceptions apply with plexy/dibond framing process. (see below)

Black frames and white frames.

These mouldings are painted wood. Each moulding is custom made to your individual specifications. All of their mouldings are manufactured to high quality standards using the best quality products.

Matboard.

An archival matboard sized proportionately to the artwork is included with all black or white frames.

Plexy Dibond

This framing option is quite modern and very clean looking. They begin with a glossy photographic print to ensure it adheres to the plexy glass with no bubbling. The print is sandwiched between a clear piece of plexy glass on the front side and a thin piece of aluminum dibond on the back side. There is a wood box frame and hooks adhered to the back of the dibond for hanging purposes. NOTE* this process is permanent. The print is forever attached to the plexy and dibond. It’s quite stunning.
